Rock Candy Funk Party

Groove Is King

Powered by a lineup of world-renowned players, RCFP came together for the sheer fun of making music - and a mutual love of genre-blurring grooves; they are: album producer Tal Bergman (drums), Joe Bonamassa (guitar), Ron DeJesus (guitar), and Mike Merritt (bass).

Groove Is King pulls away from the jazz funk sounds of their debut album into a modern sound, with focused compositions and arrangements and a slick production. “This time around, the concept was less jazz and more modern dance with layered grooves. The rhythm section laid the foundation and then we’d add in strings, synths and an incredible horn section, all while keeping it funky,” says DeJesus.
